Chapter 407: Part of the Truth
"Where, where?" said the voice outside the door for a long time, followed by the slamming of the living room door. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Professor Victor, with curly hair and dirty mage robes, rushed in. He's still the same, acute, and unkempt.
Seeing this long-lost old man, Donner stood up with a smile. As soon as he stood up, everyone in the room stood up except for Wesley, even Moen, who had trouble legs.
Professor Victor smiled happily with an old face, and said loudly, "Donner, it's really you, where have you been all these years?" Without waiting for Donner to answer, he turned to Wesley again, "Why are you back again? Haven't you just been gone?"
Wesley spread his hands and complained loudly, "Are you really my uncle?"
But this time, Professor Victor simply ignored him, and stared straight at Donner: "They all said you were dead...... If it weren't for that kid and Mino's insistence, it is estimated that the king would have taken back your fief and title......"
Donner kept smiling, although Victor didn't give him a warm hug or anything, but seeing that this old man was still the same as before, his heart warmed.
However, Professor Victor stopped abruptly in the middle of speaking, glanced back at Wesley, and then looked around at everyone with an incredulous expression.
"Good fellow...... It's only been a few years, and you're all so good...... Donner, aren't you going to the Magic Continent too? These are all returning mages too?" he gestured to Una and the others.
Although ordinary people can't feel the temperament of a magician, just like Donner couldn't see that Professor Victor was a full-fledged magician, but between magicians, they can roughly judge the other's magic level based on the momentum that vaguely emanates - of course, if one party is more than four orders higher than the other, the specific magic level can be seen at a glance.
And these people brought by Donner, except for Pino, Doris, and Penal, the three apothecaries, who are only magic apprentices, Morn and Luna are third-level mages, Layla is a bluebird mage, and Una is a sixth-level mage like Donner and Wesley. Such a team has probably never appeared in the Huls continent since the Great War three thousand years ago. No wonder Professor Victor reacted so much.
"Yes, I did go to the Magic Continent, but these are not returning mages. Donner smiled and introduced Professor Victor, and at every name, the man would bow slightly towards the old man respectfully, making Victor's face red and excited.
Wesley laughed and rolled his eyes.
Donner was introducing Una when Dean Devis walked in through the door.
Wesley pursed his lips, his eyes deliberately looking away. Donner respectfully called out, "Lord Dean." ”
"Donner, it's you. Dean Devis also smiled rarely, his tone was slightly excited, and he was the same as Victor, noticing the momentum emanating from these people in the room, but he was much calmer than Victor, and he remained silent.
"You don't know yet, do you? It turns out that Donner also went to the Magic Continent. Victor reminded on the side: "These two girls are the ones they brought back from the Magic Continent, not returning mages, but mages from the Magic Continent!"
Una and Layla heard Professor Victor introduce themselves, and bowed respectfully to Dean Deves, who had just entered.
After another introduction, Donner said, "Professor Victor, Dean Devis, Wesley and I have something to discuss with you, shall we go upstairs to the lab?"
"Okay, go to my lab. Victor said yes loudly, beckoned the maid to entertain the guests, and led Donner and Wesley upstairs.
As soon as he walked into his lab, he took out a stack of manuscript paper on the table, turned around and handed it to Donner, "This is the paper I just wrote, you have time to read it......" Donner took it with a smile.
After a while, the four of them sat down.
Victor and Deves didn't know what they were going to say, but looking at this posture, especially Wesley's solemn face, they had already thought that it should be a very serious matter, and their expressions became serious accordingly.
Donner thought for a moment and said to Wesley, "Let's talk about it first......"
Wesley nodded, and then slowly told him about boarding the ship in Newme Harbor, spending nearly two months at sea and in the air, and landing on the Magic Continent.
At first, the two old men were still normal, but when they heard what happened to Wesley on the guide ship, their brows became more and more furrowed, and by the time Wesley said that he had been put in a cage in the Magic Continent and assigned to a young mage from the Wind Courtyard as a magic pet, Victor had already stood up, and Dean Devis trembled uncontrollably.
"How could it be?!" Victor's face turned red.
"What about you, Donner?" Dean Deves tried to suppress his emotions, but his voice still trembled.
"I boarded the ship from the Emerald Harbor in the southern part of the Kaios continent, and the process was pretty much the same. Donner said slowly.
"That'...... How did you escape?" asked Devis.
"After I left here, I learned a new kind of magic that exempted me from the Pet Contract," Downer explained, "Later, I met Wesley in the Wizarding Continent, and I killed the mage who controlled him and made Wesley pretend to be my Pet, and no one knew that we were back, and no one knew the true identities of me and Wesley. ”
When Donner spoke of the process in between, Wesley kept nodding from the side.
When Dean Deves heard this, tears suddenly welled up in his eyes.
Donner was duly silent, and Wesley hesitated slightly, but still comforted: "Didn't we come back well......"
Professor Victor glanced at Dean Devis, let out a long sigh, and said to Donner and Wesley, "When he was younger, he had a good friend...... The relationship is just like the two of you...... That friend just went to the Magic Continent......"
This time, Donner and Wesley were also silent, and Donner had more or less self-reproach in his heart than Wesley—but that secret could probably only be buried in his heart forever.
After a while, Dean Devis finally calmed down a little and asked in a low voice, "Are they...... Why?"
Then, Donner explained the situation in the Magic Continent in detail, from the Beast Tide Crisis, to the Holy See, to the origin and end of the Great War three thousand years ago, and how the Chiga Mountain rose through it.
Each of these things exceeded the expectations of the two old men, and even overturned a lot of common sense that was deeply rooted in their hearts.
However, Donner still omitted quite a bit of content throughout the story. For example, the truth of the papal conspiracy, and the so-called apostolic status of him and Wesley, and even the upcoming war, he and Wesley have already discussed in advance, and try not to tell anyone unless they have to.
